and the workshop hall. The plan is that various
personalities from our company and the model
industry will take turns behind the counter,
making coffee, pouring beer and chatting with
modelers. It will be an experiment, we have
never done anything like this, but something
tells me that it will be interesting and fun.
From our company, I will be there, as will Katka
Borecka, and Jakub and Martin Nademlejnsky,
and from other companies we will also invite
Fredy Riedel from Special Hobby, Jindra
Sterbacek from Modelar and Petr Muzikant from
KP, and in general anyone with the courage to
show up will be welcome.
The lecture format is also being formulated
and we have secured pilots who flew MiG-21Fs
to be there, and we are working on getting
someone who still remembers the Avia S-199
to attend. This is quite important, because
it will coincide with the release of our S-199.
As with the MiG, for which we already have all
the molds milled, we are working very hard on
the S-199 to have it ready to go on sale at E-day.
In fact, we want to have both models completely
ready by September, and during September we
will present them at a series of meetings with
modelers. One will be in Prague, one again
in Prostejov, and we are planning the very
first presentation of both kits in Pilsen at the
Pilsenský Velbloud (Pilsen Camel) competition.
We'll be explaining the concept of the kits, which
will be quite novel and innovative, and there will
probably be the first units in plain white boxes
up for grabs. And here too, something tells me
you'll like both of these little things.
To conclude this editorial, let's move from
autumn back to spring. At the end of May,
preorders for the 48th scale Royal Class P-40N
Warhawk will begin. This is a continuation of the
P-40 project. The N model is the most beautiful
and interesting Warhawk in my opinion, and
it will be a colorful and attractive affair in all
its releases yet to come. Presentation of the
aircraft selected for the Royal boxing will begin
during May. We will start the preorders on
Friday, May 23rd, and the kit production run will
again be determined based on the number of
preorders. We will produce as many as there are
orders from the e-shop and from dealers. Along
with the Royal Class P-40N, it will be possible
to order everything from the e-shop assortment,
as well as selected accessories, which, like
the Royal Class itself, will be among the new
releases for August. We will then ship orders to
customers in the second week of July, to dealers
from July 15th. We will talk more about other
new products for August in the next editorial.
It will be an interesting month, because just as
the November lineup of new items sold on E-day
will be distinctly Czechoslovak, the August
lineup will be very American. In addition to the
P-40N, there will also be a 48th scale F-18C,
which will be our boxing of the Kinetic kit. As
an example.
But more on that next time. Today, enjoy
looking over May’s new releases, the main
focus of which is the 72nd scale MiG-21bis. This
is also reflected in today's newsletter, where
you will find, for example, an article describing
the armament of the MiG-21bis and among new
releases, a number of printed accessories, of
which, in my opinion, the most attractive is the
exhaust nozzle.
Happy Modelling!
